wonderful stay!

friendly staff sea view nice setting
I found the staff quite friendly and helpful. They were always smiley. the location was great, and i really loved the amazing sea views from the room. i appreciated the nice setting of the hotel in the vineyard.
The access path to my room was a little exhausting with luggage! small paths had irregular tiles and many steps. it looked nice. it was not appropriate for moving luggage.

The hotel offers excellent privacy and ocean views from the rooms, situated at the top of the hotel. it is surrounded by fresh herbs and vegetables grown on the hotel. It is a farm-to-table concept with fresh ingredients.

The room cascata, room 10, was perfect. It had everything i needed. it was very private, with lovely views. i also found that you can order drinks and snacks during the day if you are relaxing at the hotel.
